Public Invited to Comment on Future of Washington's Trails

OLYMPIA – The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) is asking the public to visit an online town hall and help plan the future of trails in Washington.

“Whether people hike; mountain bike; ride horses, off-road vehicles or motorcycles; cross-country ski; or just walk their dogs on trails, we’d like to hear from them,” said Kaleen Cottingham, RCO director. “The online town hall meeting will let people tell us about trail issues and what they want to see in the future on their trails, all from the convenience of their own homes.”

“We’d like people who care about trails to tell us what’s important to include in the two trail plans we are drafting,” Cottingham said. “Input from the public is crucial for deciding what’s important to include in these plans, and ultimately how and where trails should be built and maintained in Washington.”
